Welcome to Challenge #15 here at Aurora Wings. May marks the beginning of Wedding Season and love is in the air. How fitting that our new challenge celebrates "happily ever after" with the theme of Dream Wedding.

PLEASE REMEMBER OUR RULES. It breaks my heart when I have to delete a gorgeous creation for lack of compliance, but because we have a random winner, that's the only fair thing to do. Those using an AURORA WINGS IMAGE may enter up to THREE times, but those using a stamp from another company may only enter ONCE. ALL creations must have a hand colored digital or rubber stamp to be eligible.

The challenge will be open at 9:00 am EDT Monday May 18th and close at 11:55 pm Saturday June 13th 2015. Entries posted prior to May 18th will be deleted. All entries must have a hand colored digital or rubber stamp on their completed project to be eligible. Please follow the chosen theme. ONE entry per person if not using an Aurora Wings image, THREE entry limit if ALL entries include an Aurora Wings stamp. You may enter your project in as many other challenges as desired. Please link to your POST address, NOT your BLOG address and link back to the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog. We would greatly appreciate you removing word verification and switching to comment moderation if you fear spam. In fairness to all, those not following the rules will be deleted. Thank you for your understanding and please have fun. We look forward to your fabulous creations.

Also, because of the difficulties we have experienced with Facebook entries, I regret that we will no longer be accepting them on the Challenge Blog. I'm so sorry, but we do have our "On Wings of Joy" contest currently running on our Facebook Group page, so you are welcome to post your appropriate entries there through May 31st. Thank you for your understanding.

However, if you do not have a blog and would still like to enter this challenge, please email me at donnamundinger(at)gmail(dot)com with your name, a picture of your entry and Aurora Wings Challenge #15 in the subject line, and I will add it to the Linky so you can participate. Hopefully this will accommodate everyone. xx

Mitzi and the team wants to thank you for the gorgeous entries to our Flowers Challenge. Spring has definitely sprung! Again we had a few entries that did not read the rules and had to be eliminated so please remember that no matter what the challenge is, we REQUIRE a hand colored image and although they are welcome, if you enter with a non Aurora Wings image, that's it! You're done. Multiple entries (up to 3) must ALL use Aurora Wings images. Now the news you've been waiting for.

The ARTIST'S CHOICE AWARD ($20 GC and Badge) chosen by Mitzi from among the entrants using Aurora Wings images goes to

A huge Congratulations to our fabulous winners! Please e-mail Mitzi at studiomiyabi (at) aol (dot) com, with subject line "AW challenge blog ACA winner/top3/random winner (*select one that applies to you)" with your list of LINKS (not the titles of the digis) to the digis you wish to receive up to the total amount of your prize (all values are in USD, and PLEASE no overages) to receive your prize.
